The United Nations' refugee chief has issued a new alert regarding the dire situation in Mozambique, where over 780,000 people have been displaced. The majority of these displacements are a result of a seven-year insurgency by a jihadi group in the northern part of the country, causing significant turmoil in the region.
The UN's high commissioner for refugees recently visited Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, where an Islamic State-affiliated group has been carrying out attacks since 2017. These attacks have led to the displacement of approximately 1.3 million people, with around 600,000 individuals having returned to devastated communities where essential infrastructure has been destroyed.
